Hingis, Monta and coaches’ sons that look alike

You can have Anna Kournikova, I’ve always been a Martina Hingis fan. It’s not that I have a thing for big foreheads — Tyra Banks is my least favorite non-criminal in the world. I don’t know if it was because I’ve always been a brunettes-over-blondes guy, Hingis’ slightly...

I’m not going to go all draft crazy tonight. I just can’t. There’s only thing we know about the who the Warriors are going to select is that it won’t be Jordan Hill. The Warriors already had two young 6′10″ forwards that Don Nelson didn’t really like using last...

Although I’m about as far from a Celtics fan as one can be without my last name being “Rambis,” the best thing about this epic first round series between Boston and Chicago might be the chance to appreciate two of the top clutch players in basketball over the last decade do their thing....

NBA Tuesday: Post-injury fantasy advice
NBA Tuesday: Post-injury fantasy advice...
In case you haven’t noticed, NBA players have been dropping like flies this season. And not just any players, really good ones. Somewhat overshadowed by the LeBron and Kobe show this NBA season has become have been an incredible amount of faulty labrums and ligaments. Not that the NBA players have...

I can see Bill Simmons bursting through the back door of his house, running into his backyard in a rage, throwing his arms towards the sky and yelling, “FISHERRRRRRRR!!!!!” Lakers 110, Boston 109 was also the best NBA game of the season, even though it was hardly the prettiest. Of course,...

BASG’s NFL Picks: Week One...
I didn’t do a weekly NFL picks column last year, but I had a good reason…www.bayareasportsguy.com didn’t exist yet! Here’s a challenge for you, the reader. Of the reasons listed to listen to my NFL predictions, pick which one is actually true. 1. I spent twelve years...

The Real Boston Massacre...
I jokingly wrote eight hours ago about the Lakers activating Rick Fox tonight. They could have used him. Or anybody like him. Somebody strong like Fox (who, like Barry Bonds, never tested positive for steroids…if you know what I mean), who let Kobe get all the defensive credit while actually handling...

Giants Win Defies Expectations...
The wind was strong. The sky was gray. The air was cold. The Tigers’ bats were on fire but were facing a tough test against Tim Lincecum, the National League’s best pitcher in 2008. The Giants just finished scoring four runs in three games against Oakland. As I settled into my seat 27...

Old Guys Shine in “Wheelchair Game...
If this series becomes a classic, and initial reports state it’s a definite possibility, Game 1 will be known as the “Paul Pierce Wheelchair” game. It should also be known as the “Old Celtics Go Crazy” game. Garnett played well and had an awesome dunk off that three-point...

Rivalries are strange things....
Many think if teams are considered “rivals,” it’s possible for the history between the two squads to add something extra, something that can tangibly affect the results of a contest. As if the ghost of Kevin McHale is going to float a jump hook over Lamar Odom (McHale’s gift...
